Hi Cousins I need some help. For years I've been trying to find a reason that Mineerva Jane Craddock Williams moved to Hill Grove/Straightstone area of pittsylvania Co in 1880. She was born in Lunenburg and married in Montgomery Co. AFter her husband's death in Botetourt Co she picked up a number of her 11 children and moved to Hill Grove. This made no sense at all, until I found htere is a Samuel Walter Craddock who was born about the time she moved there, to a John T. Craddock of Straightstone. Samuel W. Craddock named his first son, DABNEY CRADDOCK, a name that Minerva used with her own son, although she went a step farther and named hers DABNEY PHILLIPS CRADDOCK. This makes some sene in Minerva's case, as her paternal grandfather was DABNEY PHILLIPS. The father of John T. Craddock of Pittsylvania Co was a Rawley/Raliegh CRADDOCK, m. Frances WEST in PIttsylvania Co in 6 Sep 1831, about the same time that Minevera's father, E.A. Craddock married Jane Phillips in Lunenburg Co VA. I THINK Raliegh and E.A. Craddock are related, but I don't know how. Does anyone have info on ASA Craddock, Raliegh CRADDOCK, John T. Craddock, Sameul Walter Carddock, Edmond Craddock. All married in Pittsylvania Co. ESPECIALLy interested in children of ASA Craddock and children of John and Samuel CRADDOCK.. a different Sameul than Samuel W. Craddock. ANY Pittsylvania Craddock info is greatly appreciated! Karen
